The soonest you can see a phycitrist... tell them and I believe as to what you've said may just be bipolar of which you would need it sound like additional antidepressant, a mood stablizer for sure and something for anxiety
They just had to add something to my prozac - Wellburtin ...working good |

With bipolar, taking an SSRI antidepressant will make everything worse. You need to add a mood stabilizer for the mania or hypomania, whichever you are suffering. That's the key. Checking into a hospital isn't a bad idea. I wish you luck.

Many pdocs and tdocs offer sliding scales for people without insurance.
You can get names of tdocs off PC web site. Go to the home page and type in 'therapists' then on the next page type in your zip code. Do an advanced search and you will get a list of Tdocs in your area, their specialties and if they offer sliding scales. Once you get a tdoc, they can refer you to a pdoc that offers sliding scales.

You probably do need a med adjustment/addition. Go to your local city/county/state mental health center for a sliding scale pdoc. You can get information at the nearest state psychiatric hospital or look in the yellow pages under mental health. Best of Luck ~ best thing is to start asking questions of your local people helping agencies, maybe starting with the local hospital ~ billieJ
